CR1 Visa Question

10-26-2020, 10:03 AM

Hi,

I am currently having a PR and waiting for the Naturalization but due to the cursed 2020 its all delayed. So, the question is, if I do get married on Green Card can I apply for CR1 visa as soon as I get the Citizenship? So this is getting married before getting the citizenship and hold the paperwork till I get the citizenship and then applying.

Please let me know your thoughts.

Thanks in advance,

Rudy

Yes, you can do that.

You can even file I130 under F2A (spouse of permanent resident), and then when you become citizen, submit naturalization proof, and the application will be upgraded to CR1.
